chapter 9 wrinkle in time

Meg’s reunion with her father suggests that the strength of familial love is the most powerful bond of all. To Meg, this kind of love gives her the best feelings of her life, and for a moment, being reunited with her father causes her to forget all of the bad things that have happened. But, this kind of love cannot conquer all evil, for L’Engle again places her characters in the tension of trouble. While familial love gives Meg a particular kind of strength, it is not the ultimate love of salvation.
